5. DX “Tanked” WCW

Remember that time D-Generation X "invaded" WCW Nitro at the Norfolk Scope on a tank in April 1998? That was one of the 'Attitude Era's' most memorable moments, wasn't it? Triple H, X-Pac, Chyna and the New Age Outlaws sure showed Eric Bischoff who was ready to fight.

It wasn't a tank though. It was a Jeep.

Most wrestling fans who bring this up will claim until they're blue in the face that WWE procured an actual military tank for the timeless skit. That's simply not true, but it's something the company has battered people with relentlessly for decades; tank, tank, tank, tank, tank, tank, TANK!

Vince Russo (who penned the segment) wanted a tank, but nobody could get their hands on one at short notice. So, Trips and team added a cannon to their car and rolled up to Nitro trying to get inside the building.

"The DX Car" doesn't sound nearly as sexy as "The DX Tank".
